Do the handles get hot while cooking? I have read many reviews here.Some people have said the handles do get hot while others said they dont.Confused.

I think it depends on how sensitive you are, how high the heat setting is, and what size burner you use. But with that said, I have never once had a problem picking up the pots. The handles are sometimes a little warm, but not uncomfortable (and I don't need a mitt).

I've had the handles on the 8-quart stock pot get hot during cooking. The shape of the pot makes it just slightly narrower than the burners on our glass-top electric range. This puts the handles above the heat rising from the stovetop. That's the only piece of this set that the handles get hot on that I've noticed although the lid handles also get hot when used for a long cooking time and of course the handles will get hot if you use the pots in the oven. We absolutely love the saute pan from this set. It's perfect for so many of our cooking needs.

I have never had a problem with that handles getting hot, I was cooking potatoes and some water bobbled out on the handle and Made it warm. I use these with induction cooking, they are great pan. They are well made and highly recommended

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

We have not had a problem of the handles getting to hot to handle. We LOVE this pan set and use it daily.

I agree it seems weird but the handles do not get hot. Just be sure you hold them on the handle part only. My grandkids use them with no issues. Once the marshmallow is cooked the way you like it, it just slides off. A little marshmallow is left on the stick but you just slide a new marshmallow over it and you are good to go.

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

NO .... and they have never gotten hot .. or too hot too handle at all! I can only think if this item had been left on over an extended period of time.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

I have had no problems with the handle heating up while cooking. I have had this pan for several months now and use it frequently. I love it!

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

The handle does not get hot. I had to stop and think for a minute, but I remember using the handle to turn the grill pan around while I am cooking and doing it without a hot paid. I use this pan quite often. It is great.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

I've had them for over a year. Never had an issue with the handles getting hot.

Yes, the handle gets hot. I don't know why it doesn't actually get as hot as I expected it would, but it does get hot enough to burn you if used over an extended period of time. Crepes are not prepared at a very high temperature, so I haven't counted it as a negative, but I do have little slip-on pot holder sleeves that fit over the handles of many of my pans - and keep them near when using this one. I really love this pan. Hope this helps!

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.
